Customer Comments About The Chocolate Garden

“Your chocolates
saved my mother's life!

Really! My 75 year old mother is seriously diabetic.
Yesterday, she was alone packing and moving from her long-time home (she has
been widowed twice. She is getting married for a 3rd time to her high school
sweetheart Bob).

She had little food in the house and had exerted herself
too much. She began to get dizzy and checked her blood sugar to find it was
dangerously low. She frantically began searching the house for something sweet
but could only find her half empty bottle of Coke. It wasn't enough. She was
shaking badly and growing dizzy. She couldn't find her cell phone to call 911
either.

She said for some strange reason she remembered she saw a
box on the steps when she arrived home. With hands and legs shaking she went
outside to look and there was a package. She couldn't read the label but decided
to open it with the hope it was something she could use.

She said she thought it was a gift from God when she
discovered it was chocolate truffles. She quickly ate 4 of them and began to
feel better. {She said she ate 3 more after she began to feel better just
because they were that good.}

She really believes she would have blacked out and
died had she not received your chocolates when she did.

I, of course, am the hero son and what is funny is I never
send her chocolates.

On behalf of her fiancé Bob, her 6 children, 19
grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren we thank you for helping save
Mom's life this Mother's Day.

Chocolate Garden - Truffles so good they are Life Saving!”

Kevin
Scottsdale, Arizona

“I can't believe how wonderful your
chocolates are. I have never had anything that comes close to them.
I received a box as a gift. I am so impressed I will be giving them
as a gift also. Thank you so much.”

Catherine

“Thanks you sooo much for making the best chocolates
EVER!”

Cynthia
Billings, Montana

“I just tried 4 of your "2fers" (milk chocolate hazelnut,
white chocolate strawberry, solera double gold and darkest dark chocolate) and
they were so good that I had no trouble eating them all in less time than it did
for me to open the box they were shipped in. They are definitely the best
chocolates I've had since being to Belgium, and even there I never had better
texture. You can really tell that they are hand made. I cannot see how a machine
could possibly be able to produce that.”

Anthony
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“This past Valentine's Day, I ordered a 9 oz box
of your truffles as a gift for the woman I'm dating. Eleven days later,
she became my fiancé. I don't know if it was the truffles that did it,
but she LOVES the truffles! It's the best chocolate we've ever tasted!”

Greg
Alexandria, Louisiana

“Thanks for all that
you guys do! I love ordering from you both online and in the store. Your staff
is always so friendly and your truffles are, of course, the best.”

Alisa
Buchanan, Michigan

“My mother loves truffles. I used to live in
Paris and would routinely send her a box at holiday time. Since moving
to Hong Kong, finding and shipping decent truffles is much more
difficult. One year I sent a box from Godiva and got a pleasant 'Thank
you they were good'.

But last year, I decided to
search for something with a little more care and loving built in to the
chocolate. . .if that's possible, and I located The Chocolate Garden. The
response began with 'OHH! Ab-so-lute-ly wonderful!' or something like
that, and the comments and compliments about your truffles continued
unabated for the next five minutes. I knew I had hit on something good.”

Scott
Hong Kong

“My wife Mary and I have been exchanging
truffles from your place for many of our special occasions over the last
few years. We have 'turned on' many family, friends, teachers and
coworkers to your products and the end result is always a delightful one
with rave reviews. Everyone says it is the best truffle they have ever
had, bar none. I always say if I had to choose a last meal; it would be
a one pound box of truffles from The Chocolate Garden.”

Ralph
Naperville, Illinois

“I
just wanted to say - WOW! What amazing customer service. I have already received
my order, and it looks to be in tip-top condition. Can't let myself open any of
the boxes yet - they have to make it to Christmas! Thanks again for such an
excellent product. Merry Christmas!”

Sue
Kaukauna, Wisconsin

“Thank you for your quick
response. My Mother received her chocolate yesterday and she thinks they
are fantastic. I think I may have just moved to the top of the Christmas
list! haha I'm a Food Network junkie so I watch it all the time and I
caught the end of the show Food Finds and heard The Chocolate Garden
mentioned. Since I love chocolate, I figured The Chocolate Garden was
something I needed to check out...and the rest is history.

Thank you for making such wonderful
chocolate treats!”

Lisa
Atwater, Ohio

“I have just received my order for your
truffles and I have to say that they are simply AMAZING! Your
product is incredible! Keep up the good work!!”

Renata
Charlotte, North Carolina

“I just received my box of handmade truffles.
Soooo Good! My husband likes Dark Chocolate and I ate the Milk
Chocolates. The cherry flavoring in one tasted like a real maraschino
cherry. Thank you.”

Nancy
Southaven, Mississippi

“Last summer my husband and I stayed in
a B&B in South Haven. The couple sitting next to us was raving
about your truffles. They saw your billboard on the highway and
decided to stop. Of course being the chocolate lover I am, we
had to go! The inn keeper gave us your flyer. We took a
different way home so we could stop at your store. WOW! I was
hooked. I wanted 2 of everything. We bought a wonderful variety
in a 9 pack. As it goes, we were stuck in construction traffic
on our way home. We were in a convertible & the truffles were in
a cooler on the back seat. They were calling out to me
CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATE! Needless to say, they never
made it home!

“I ordered a 2 oz bag last week and received them today. I
shared one with a co-worker and, we just bought three 1Lb boxes! The milk
chocolate truffles are great! We wish we lived closer to you to stop in and see
all you have to offer.”

Tanya
Houston, Texas

“Hi. I just wanted to express my extreme
appreciation for your amazing truffles. My fiancée gave me some as
a Valentine's day gift, and when I bit into your chocolate it made me
feel all warm and cozy all over. I've traveled a lot to Europe,
both West and East, and I've yet to find a truffle as
scrumdidilyumptious as yours. Once again, they're amazing, thank
you, ”

Spencer and Christine
Sandy and Provo, Utah

“Visited The Chocolate Garden today after seeing
your shop on the Food Network. Had a great visit, and this evening had
our first raspberry truffle. To say it was outstanding would be an
understatement. It was the best piece of chocolate decadence we have
ever had.”

Walter & Kathleen
Schererville, Indiana

“Your truffles are excellent! Today was the first time I had a
chance to try them! Very tasty and the best I’ve tasted! Your 9 oz chocolate boxes came in
handy for gifts as I’m on maternity leave and thus, shall I say, don’t get out often!”

JB
Northville, Michigan

“I'm so glad I ordered your wonderful
truffles after seeing your business on Food Finds. I had a
feeling that your truffles would stand out from the rest and I
was definitely right. I kept track of all of the chocolates I
saw on food network for MONTHS. I decided it would be fun to
choose five or six of the places I saw featured on TV, and order
chocolates for my family and friends to give as Christmas gifts,
and I would of course get some for myself too :) Having
sampled the chocolates from all of the other places I've seen
featured on Food Network, I have to say that yours are the best
by far. The others were all very good, but they didn't approach
the level of excellence that you've reached with your truffles.”

Another very VERY happy customer (one of
many I have no doubt),

Brian
Ann Arbor, Michigan

“My dearest Tina, you have forever changed my
life. Last year I asked my friend to take a 3-1/2 hour trip with
me to try some truffles that I saw on Food Network. She thought I
was absolutely certified until she took a bite of the raspberry
chocolate truffle. And then she knew what all the fuss was over.
Personally, the hazelnut and dark chocolate are my favorites. I
have tried almost every kind of chocolate known to man and The Chocolate
Garden truffles are by far the most amazing experience my mouth has
had.”

R. F.
Linwood, Michigan

“Dear Tina, It is Christmas Eve in Chardon, Ohio
. . . could you hear the contented yummmmmmm coming to Coloma from
the south? We were enjoying the truffles with our children and their
families and yumming and smiling a lot! Thank you for your gift of
creating joy and delight through the enjoyment of your truffles.”

Gail
Chardon, Ohio

“Dear Ms. Buck, Chief Chocolate
Officer:

Since being established in 1973, our Solera
Cream Sherry has won more Gold and Double-Gold medals than any other
sherry produced in the United States. Over the years, many
desserts and confections have been created using our Solera Sherry
in the recipe. I must say, however, that your Solera Cream
Sherry Truffle towers above anything I have ever tasted in terms of
flavor and complexity--it is indeed a winner!”

“I came across your name on a
listing of chocolate shops from the Food Finds program on the Food
Network website. I checked out your website and was impressed with
the quality of your product. The fact that you make your truffles by
hand and make them to order was what induced me to purchase them for
my mother in law. I wanted her to have something special and realize
that special takes time. Once again, thank you for following up on
my order. It's not often we come across this level of service from
an internet order.”

Marjorie
Winter Park, Florida

“I received your chocolates...and OH MY
GOODNESS!!!!!!! Talk about chocolate heaven. You are
now my love!!!! Your truffles are the answer to any chocoholic's
dreams. Thank you for the wonderful shipping/packaging...the
precious joys were not damaged in any way and came all intact.
Look for another order shortly. Thanks again.”

Joan
Lawrenceville, Georgia

“Greetings Tina! It's been awhile since we've
ordered. Getting too caught up with all the business of life, moving, etc.
My husband, Kelly and I think about your truffles often and said "We HAVE to
order them today"! Can't WAIT to receive them! Wishing you continued
success!”

Kelly and Tina
Brentwood, California

“My husband and I were on the wine tour last
weekend and he surprised me with a trip to your store. We took
some truffles home with us and have been indulging ourselves every
night. They last a long time if you have just one! They
are wonderful.”

Rene
Goshen, Indiana

“The truffles were received in excellent condition - what
unique packaging! Each day, my Mom and I would select one, divide it in half and
share. Eating these delicacies was a spiritual experience. They are beyond
compare. I will be placing a Christmas order soon. Thank you.”

Nikki
Fort Gratiot, Michigan

“I think I have tasted heaven!!!”

William
Lambetrville, New Jersey

“thank you for making wonderful chocolates.

michael
Sunnyvale, California

“I received my truffles
today and I need to slap myself to stop eating them. They are
luscious, silky and full of flavor. Thank you.”

Patricia
Troy, Michigan

“Just wanted to let you know how much my
mother in law loved the truffles for her birthday..sending
another batch for Xmas..thanks again for a wonderful product.”

Joanne
Englewood, Florida

“Last week you and I talked on the phone
about getting an order of truffles to me in short order for a
dinner party I was planning. The truffles arrived
Thursday, in plenty of time for my Friday dinner party. My
guests loved them; they were actually moaning in pleasure
when they bit into them. Thanks so much!”

Mindy
Martinez, California

“I LOVE the truffles...they are so unusual!
Tell Tina they are the best I've ever had in Paris bar none! I love the
way they are so soft. Actually, I slice them and eat them slowly that way.
Yummy! ”

Lisa
Paris, France

“Oh my God!! I ordered 8
boxes from you...all gifts...three to be sent here to give away and
five mailed directly to others. They arrived today, with a
package of two for us to sample. We did. I have lived a long time and
have NEVER tasted anything like that. They are just outstandingly
delicious. I mean, they are just Divine. And Yummy, too. Thanks.
Wonderful, wonderful!!.”

Ann
Sarasota, Florida

“Our daughter in Missouri called last evening to
tell us she had received the chocolate truffles. She was delighted with
your product (she is a REAL chocolate lover) and couldn't get over how
unusually delicious they were. Thanks for your excellent service and
exquisite truffles.”

Melvin & Joyce
Leander, Texas

“just a quick note to tell you all at
the chocolate garden how exquisite your truffles were. i
received them 2 days ago and they are already gone. i will order
again soon. many thanks.”

amanda
Allentown, Pennsylvania

“I just received my box of
chocolate "melt in your mouth" treasures yesterday. I have to
admit, all of the positive testimonials were "right-on". Your
truffles are extremely delicate and silky. How do you do it?
They melt in your mouth like cotton candy except with much more
depth in taste and texture. They are the ultimate joy and
pleasure for the chocoholic. This is a wonderful addiction and I
will enjoy feeding my addiction for months to come. My next
order will have to be the pounder!!”

Patty
Fort Huachuca, Arizona

“I was SO impressed with the quality and taste of your
wonderful delectables! The Dark Chocolate are by FAR my favorite and they were
the most heavenly truffles I have ever enjoyed! Thank you so much for making
such a quality handmade treat! (I can’t wait for the next holiday so I have an
excuse to ask for more!)”

Paulina
Louisville, Kentucky

“I just got a box of your truffles today. The
Cinnamon Love is positively wonderful! I also noted that your storage
guidelines say the truffles will last two months if stored properly. I
really don't think there's much worry of them nearing their expiration
date - they get eaten too fast for that!”

Kelly
Chula Vista, California

“Delivery of my order arrived in the time
promised. A practice other retailers should envy. In our initial
sampling, we find your product very deserving of its
reputation-exceeding our expectation. We are fortunate to have
been viewing Food TV at the right moment. You’ll be hearing from
us again. Thanks.”

John
Newport, Rhode Island

“A few of us at work just tried your truffles
for the first time, and we must say they are like nothing we have ever
tried before. Even before biting into those golf ball size delicacies,
we could smell the cherry, raspberry and orange. Once we bit into them
and savored the flavor (apologize for the cliché) not to mention the
soft texture, we were hooked!”

Absolutely the
best!

Jean
HoHoKus, New Jersey

“We received our order today
& umm, uum, good.”

Dennis
Centerville, Indiana

“Last week I received a package. When I leaned over I saw that
distinctive tan card with those most chocolate of words ‘The Chocolate Garden.’ I grabbed the package
and ran into the house frantically looking for a knife to cut open the box so I could see and smell one
of life’s special presents. Finally, there it was. As I savored that last morsel of chocolate all I
could think of was thank you, thank you and thank you.”

Another still satisfied customer,

Brian
Sarasota, Florida

“dear gentlepeople at the chocolate garden:

yes, words cannot express how much we have
enjoyed the full bloom assortment. well worth the wait. you are to
be thanked x 10 plus one. ”

Randy
Lincoln, Illinois

“To the talented truffle makers at The
Chocolate Garden, a million thanks! I was pleasantly surprised to receive
a box of your dark chocolate truffles for my birthday this year. This was
my first introduction to the delectable products you create. Never in my
wildest dreams could I have conjured such a delightful and sensual
chocolate experience. The truffles are a single lady’s date on a Friday
night!”

Nikki
Panama City, Florida

“My husband and I are
absolutely in love with your truffles! None finer anywhere on
Earth. Made with love and shipped with special care...they are a
little bit of Heaven delivered to our door.”

Judy
Sunset Valley, Texas

“Hooooooly Cow!!! I’m in heaven!!

Forever grateful,”

Michelle
Atlanta, Georgia

“Just thought I’d let you know that the truffles
arrived and my Mother-in-Law couldn’t have been happier! She said
they were the absolute best she had ever tasted -- and she’s been
tasting for 86 years! Absolutely no comparison with all the others
we’ve tried, and some very expensive ones at that.

I will certainly be a repeat customer, and I thank everyone at The
Chocolate Garden for making such a superior and delicious product!.”

Nancy
El Paso, Texas

“I received my box of chocolates
today and they were well worth the wait! I honestly
thought I might miss the waxy chocolate shell, but oh my
goodness I couldn’t have been more wrong. I like to save the
best for last so I’m saving the Darkest Dark Chocolate truffle,
but I did have the plain Dark Chocolate and all I can say is
FABULOUS! My only regret is that I didn’t purchase the 1 pound
box!”

Amy
Chesterfield Township, Michigan

“I recently bought two 2oz
bags and two 9oz boxes, one box for my Mom and one for my
Mother-In-Law. The 2oz bags were for my husband and me. I just want to
tell you that without exception, we thought they were the best
chocolates we had ever eaten! The Dark Chocolate Cherry were to die
for!!!!!”

I will be ordering more, that is
for sure.

Janice
Wapella, Illinois

“I received the truffles on
time, and I must say they are absolutely wonderful. I gave one box
away to the concierge downstairs and they haven’t stopped raving about
them. I’m trying desperately hard not to eat them all up at once, but
am having a little difficulty with that. Thanks for all the great
service and for creating such scrumptious treats. I am going to tell
all my friends about you and will be looking forward to my next
order.”

Dan
Milwaukee, Wisconsin

“I thought I had tasted the best chocolate in
the world. Then, I received a box of your chocolates and I thought
I had died and gone to heaven. I am a chocoholic. I managed a Swiss
chocolate shop on Michigan Avenue in Chicago for 5 years. It was
incredible chocolate. The Chocolate Garden has it beat. I would rather
have a box of your chocolates than diamonds any day. I am saving the
Iced White Coffee for last. If you hear moaning anywhere in the state of
Georgia. . .it’s me eating the last in my hidden box.”

Amy
Atlanta, Georgia

“I am the one who called and had you send a
box of dark truffles to my son in Alaska. He thought they were
incredible. I also told a friend of mine. Their quest is
to send the best truffles to her husband’s aunt in Hawaii. They
sent a box of yours and she agreed they were the best she had tasted.

Keep up they great work.”

Charlotte
Decatur, Illinois

“I purchased a 1 Lb box of your
truffles for Valentine’s Day. Each time we try one of the
truffles, my girlfriend giggles without control claiming she
cannot help it. Truly unbelievable texture and taste.”

Erik
Blacksburg, Virginia

“Hi, I just received my 1st order
after hearing about you on tv. I took one bite, then ran
to place my 2nd order (and I’m not sharing this stuff with
anyone)! Everything they say is true!!!!! Thank
you!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Barbara
North Adams, Massachusetts

“Praises to the chef. I
just ordered my second box of The Chocolate Garden’s truffles.
My first box was so extraordinary, I placed a second order within a
month’s time. I am a true chocoholic, and your truffles rate a
10+ on the endorphin scale. Thanks for sharing your talent with
other chocolate lovers, I truly appreciate it.”

Elizabeth
Houston, Texas

“I am so
grateful to have discovered your fantastic truffles. Every year before the holidays, I search for
one extraordinary product to send to each of my friends around the country. Some years the search is
easier than others, but this year, after discovering your unbelievable truffles, there is no doubt
what the gift will be. 9 oz boxes to everyone! Thanks for your dedication to the perfect truffle,
and for making it so easy to share them with others with your convenient shipping.”

Sven
Coloma, Michigan

“Thank you ever so much for the most delicious truffles I have
ever had. Believe me, I have tried a lot of truffles in my life and when my husband had you send me
this box they were truly to die for. Thank you again and I will be ordering much more in the
upcoming months. You have truly perfected the art of Truffles!!!!!”

Connie
North Mankato, Minnesota

“I just received a box of your truffles
from my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. Your truffles are,
by far, the best I have ever had. Incredibly, sensuously,
delicious! Thank you.”

Mary
Grand Rapids, Michigan

“THANK YOU for producing such a high quality product with service to
match! I ‘accidentally’ found your site while surfing online late one night last week.
Being a truffle lover/connoisseur, I ordered immediately and was enjoying your truffles two days
later. When sharing my discovery with friends, I think my exact words were that your
truffles are so good it’s almost not legal!

Thumbs up
for impeccable quality and outstanding service! I will be ordering regularly. Cheers!”

Cheryl
Comstock Park, Michigan

“I had a friend bring me one of your truffles. . . .I have never tasted anything so
wonderfully sinful!! I can’t wait to get my own box as well as one for my daughter. . .Thank you for
developing such a delightful sweet.”

Barbara
Elkhart, Indiana

“I received the truffles the other
night and they were extraordinary! I have never had something
that “exploded” in my mouth. The flavor was wonderful
and I had a hard time trying to save some for later! I will definitely
order again in the future. Keep up the good work!”

Candy
Aurora, Illinois

“Oh my God, your truffles are
amazing!”

Peter
Los Angeles, California

“We received your truffles today...my fiancé
and I are still stunned at what an AMAZING product you folks
produce. They were absolutely exquisite!!!”

Lani
Portland, Oregon

“I think it
is obvious by my recent and frequent orders that I am in love with your company. Your product is
excellent! Your service is excellent! The truffles make a wonderful gift because they are unique
and like nothing that can be found around here. I can’t stop bragging about it!”

Katrina
Ramsey, Minnesota

“Got the truffles I’d ordered last Thursday, just before Easter. We couldn’t wait for
Easter and tore into them immediately. They were wonderful!
